steamingutpiles 117 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Jagd terriers were initially bred to be versatile hunting dogs and proved themselves to be damned good ones. Since that time many find themselves used in all sorts of specialised roles all over the world. From the competition dogs of eastern Europe, to the critter getters, boar, bear and lion hunters of north America, to the sambar hunters and all rounders in Australia. I have owned and hunted many breeds over four decades as a professional and recreational hunter, pound for pound, as far as terriers go, I haven't seen anything that holds a candle to them. They do have their down sides the main one being, turning getting killed into an art form - I've lost them to snakes, pigs, rivers, mine shafts and the list goes on but one thing is for sure - I'll never be without one. 6 Quote Link to post
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Again you like jawn live in a country with wilderness and quarry. We can only dream of Ive never seen terriers on. The quarry you name so have no. Knowledge so can not agree or disagree. Just Of the opinion that are breeds would hold there own. Quote Link to post

tinytiger 828 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 what other breed of terriers was started from a kennell of 600 plus dogs,all tested and the inferior culled-O.k maybe the terriers sent out there initially wertent as good as what was kept at home---if i could draw an analogy with racing greyhounds-weve been sending dirt out to australia for the last century but they have faster racers than us now(to those who disagree with that statement-look up "black magic opal"..)..i wouldnt knock any breed till id tried it 7 Quote Link to post
steamingutpiles 117 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Breeds of dogs originating for the British Isles have left their mark in legend world wide. Irish and English game dogs, coursing dogs, hounds and terriers in most cases, are the very basis of the best hunting, racing, herding and fighting stock in the world. The Americans, Germans, and many other Europeans etc looked after and refined the best of he best, to come up with some of the best performance animals we see today. If it wasn't for the Brits many of the performance breeds we have today wouldn't exist. 3 Quote Link to post
